What to expect
'I loved A Village Murder and its setting. It kept surprising me!' Faith Martin, #1 bestselling author
The start of a brand new series from the bestselling author of the Exham-on-Sea Murder Mysteries.
An English village can be deadly, when your past catches up with you...
In the beautiful rural Somerset village of Lower Hembrow, crammed full with English eccentrics, something is amiss...
Landscape gardener Imogen Bishop has spent the last thirty years trying to forget one fateful school night but when her estranged husband Greg Bishop is found dead in the grounds of her fathers' Georgian hotel, danger threatens to overwhelm her.
Retired police officer Adam Hennessey, hoping for a peaceful life running his traditional Somerset country pub, finds himself drawn into the unfolding drama in the hotel across the road.
Imogen, Adam and Harley the stray dog form an unlikely partnership as they try to untangle a knot of secrets, solve a murder mystery, and bring a killer to justice.
A brand new cosy mystery series from the bestselling author of Murder at the Lighthouse, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Betty Rowlands and Joy Ellis.

User Reviews
I was undecided on my rating for this book…. a 3.5 or a 4*. I settled on a 4 as I usually notch up a little for an audio book as never usually as engaged as when reading a physical book.
The storyline was good but maybe slightly slower paced than I was in the need for. The characters were well balanced and believable. I could picture the setting quite clearly and actually think this would make a good Sunday evening series: especially for my fellow UK readers.
